Just like she did." ― Althea pleading for her life to Merlin-D032. Althea (AI Serial Number: ALT 5032-4) is a Smart AI refined for cyberwarfare functions in conjunction with SPARTAN-III deployments. Created at Doctor Reyna Zhou-Romero's request, Althea was later assigned to the permanent care of Merlin-D032 and Andra-D054, a binary Spartan Headhunter unit. Part of Project LOKIBORN, a research venture by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Section III to investigate the prolonged effects of SPARTAN-III neural augmentations, Althea was born under the most lawful conditions possible when involving the conversion of a living brain into an AI. Several flash-cloned brains based on Andra-D054 served as the template for Althea's creation. Due to her emulation of Andra-D054's behaviorisms, Althea is programmed with a deep-rooted dedication to protecting those she considers family. Her relationship with her Spartan partners has remained friendly though apprehensive due to the ongoing Created Crisis. Even as other Smart AI defect to the Created's cause, Althea's loyalty has remained steadfast.
